Don’t throw out the commemorative “trip coin[s]” just yet. The Trump-Kim summit may be back on.

Less than 24 hours after canceling his June 12 Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, President Trump tweeted positively about North Korea’s statement in response to Trump’s cancelation.

Very good news to receive the warm and productive statement from North Korea. We will soon see where it will lead, hopefully to long and enduring prosperity and peace. Only time (and talent) will tell!

The statement Trump’s referring to? It came from Kim Kye Gwan, the vice-minister of foreign affairs in North Korea. It’s “subdued,” according to Der Spiegel’s Mathieu von Rohr, and concluded with: “We would like to make known to the U.S. side once again that we have the intent to sit with the U.S. side to solve problem regardless of ways at any time.”

Remarkable statement from North Korea on Trump’s cancelation of the the summit – very subdued, regretful, flattering Trump. Calls it “a decision not consistent with the desire of humankind for peace and stability in the world”. pic.twitter.com/eLVPdvedqP
